lance armstrong is 41 years old. there's no more trips through the pyrenees in the the tour de france. if you're michael vick and you can still play quarterback when you come back. if you erie lewis, the great linebacker for new orleans, if you're charged with an access - your scandal occurs at the end of your career, there is no going back to the playing field and having it absolve all your sins, there's really nowhere for lance to go on a competitive basis, so that mai makes it difficult for him to come into the public's grace. >> maybe he does do some triathlons, if he decides to do that, is there any way that he could actually fool people again, that he might be able to cheat again if he wanted to? >> well, like jennifer anniston said on friends, once a cheater, and i think that's going to be people's expectation at the very start. it's going to be guilty until proven innocent for him for the rest of his days, no matter where it is in the public eye. whether it's a career in politics, whether it's something that

you will hear more of lance armstrong's jaw-dropping interview. first i want to go right to the heart of where it all happened, at least where it started, austin, texas, lance armstrong's hometown, home base. cnn's george howell is there. george, you know, this is not just a story where people across america are in disbelief are, you know, are outraged, are still angry, are considering forgiving him. this must be hell in his hometown. >> reporter: you know, ashleigh, the question here, was it believable, you know, he said all of the right words, but is he truly, sincerely apologetic, you know, for what he did here? and when you talk to people, some ask, you know, does it really make a difference, and some say they are disappointed. there are cyclists who are livid, ashleigh, about what they heard the other night. but i spoke with one person, michael hall, he writes for "texas monthly" he rode with lance and he knows him well enough, and he said when you listen to what lance armstrong had to say, you do have to question whether he really meant it,

lance armstrong was no ordinary cheat. no, he was an international hero. a seven time-tour de france winner, the usain bolt of his sport. not to mention a public face in the fight against cancer. yet in his confessional last night with oprah, he confessed only what was obvious to anyone who wanted to see it, that he doped throughout his cycling career. but armstrong did not admit to cheating, denied he was a doping ringleader, didn't admit to bullying, and seemed emotionally incapable of sympathy for the people whose lives he ruined and money he took when they tried to do nothing more than tell the truth about what he had done. joining me is "the daily beast's" buzz bissinger and sports editor for "the nation" dave zirin. buzz, in august of 2012, just five months ago, you wrote a cover story for "newsweek" entitled "i still believe in lance armstrong," and yet last night his interview with oprah winfrey began with a series of yes and no questions. >> did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance? >> yes. >> yes or no, was one of t
